This hearty goose ragù from Scacciadiavoli winery in Umbria, Italy, is flavored with fresh rosemary, sage, and a touch of dried chile. The heat in the dish calls attention to the sweet-tart character of the tomatoes in the sauce. This recipe first appeared in our November 2014 issue with the story Taste of Umbria.
